My PS3 slim tend to heat and do a lot of noise with recent games (Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - Multiplayer Online), I'm tempted to these generally positive assessments.
Some comments, both on the websites of Amazon and other sites (including JeuxVideo.com) however fell within the "dangerous" nature of this cooling process.
Indeed, this device does nothing more than to "stress" the internal fans of the PS3, which causes an increase in the heat of it and poor dissipation of hot air.
This is explained as the fans of the device does not have the same characteristics as the internal fans of PS3: they do not have the same diameter or the same speed ...
Thus, if the fans of the product bring too much air in the console, the internal fans can not "keep up"; and conversely, if the fans do not bring enough air, those of the PS3 will have to provide more effort to cool the console.
We are entering a vicious circle whose end seems inevitable: the progressive stress console fans, causing fatigue / premature aging of these.
In fact, using this product, we note: increase of the console temperature and around the console, increased noise (even if two speeds are available for fans of the device).
Conclusion: The Playstation 3 console has been designed to be pushed into a corner and his every order to ensure optimal cooling to allow for many hours during player. Its autonomous cooling system is prepared that the heating and console is designed to be "cranked".
Some companies use including Playstation 3 as computing and storage servers; in this configuration, the console is even more biased than for leisure, which proves that the internal cooling system needs no additional artifice ...

How effectively cool the PS3?
With this setback now asks the fateful question: "What effective solution to cool the PS3?".
An initial response could be the following explanation, given on a site a user was dismantled and returned the PS3 internal fans of the PS3; do not forget to spend a bomb to blow air to remove dust (compressed air).
As it stands, the fans of the PS3 expel hot air from the console, and only the air vents allow air to enter "cold"; following the method described just above, the user says this allows air to go "cold" in the console, via the fans; allowing better cooling.
Everyone is free to test this solution "in good conscience". ;)
